James Charlton Armstrong

[Looflow]

Hello first time user so here goes.
Looking for information about a relative James Charlton Armstrong from Northern Ireland who worked as a painter in the 1940s in Orkney but his family lived in Belfast.  Don't know why he went there but it could have been to do with WW2.  He died early in Jan 1942 in the district of Walls, Orkney but we have no death certificate with details.  Are there any newspaper articles I could access or directories I could try to find out where he lived.
Any help much appreciated.

There is a quite likely death registration on Scotlands People for a James "Charles" Armstrong who died in Walls , Orkney in 1942 which may be worth buying credits to view the image

Many thanks to you both for the quick responses.  I will check out the Scotlands People site.  I also found him in the 1911 census living with his wife and baby daughter at his in-laws in Belfast.
